Changing Orders Interactively 

Use

Entries can be made in some of the key figure fields in the interactive planning table, meaning that you can change the key figure values and thus also the orders interactively. The same applies to the planned distribution receipt (SNP stock transfers), the confirmed distribution demand (deployment stock transfers), planned production (planned orders), and planned safety stock.

Features

The following options are available to you when changing orders interactively:

·        If you change the confirmed distribution demand; that is, the deployment stock transfers resulting from adeployment run, the system checks the available-to-deploy quantity (ATD quantity) and informs you if there is insufficient quantity available.

·        You have the option of moving deployment stock transfers from one transportation lane to another. Display the associated transportation lanes for this using the Display Dependent Objects function in the interactive planning table.

·        You have the option of moving planned orders from one bucket to another. To do this, place the cursor in a cell, use the right-hand mouse button, and choose Move order to buffer. Then place the cursor in the cell into which you want to move the value and choose Insert order from buffer. Here, the entire order quantity is moved to the other bucket, meaning that it is not possible to move partial quantities or distribute order quantities over several buckets.

·        You can move planned orders from one resource to another in the interactive Supply Network Planning capacity view using the buffer function described above. To do this, select several resources in the shuffler, and then select Display Dependent Objects -> PPM or Display Dependent Objects -> Products.

·        If there are multiple sources of supply available for one location product at the same time, you can display existing orders with their sources of supply in the detail view and process them there (to do this, right-click Display Detail or call up the view with a doubleclick). You can also create new orders for the various sources of supply by creating a new row in the detail screen, entering the quantity, and selecting the source of supply. You can create multiple orders per source of supply.

This applies for planned orders as well as for stock transfers.

You can also use a macro to specifiy that, when there are multiple sources of supply per location product, the corresponding row is not ready for input, and that this is indicated with a green marker. In this case, you can only process orders in the detail view. For more information, see SAP note 704651.
